    Equally, a reading of 1.00m was obtained when measured on the short range setting (Table 1). The percentage deviation was negligible, at 0 %. A correction factor was applied while calculating the subsequent 1-m distances that were used to compute the range of the motion sensor. This ruled out any possibilities of discrepancies, suggesting that the experiment was conducted with a high degree of precision and accuracy.…

    Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
